And it’s the bucket list ride that Lachlan Morton spent years dreaming about.
Starting in Banff, Alberta, Canada and ending 2,671 miles later in Antelope Wells, New Mexico, USA, the divide route is as beautiful as it is rugged, as ambitious as it is empty. During his two weeks on the trail, Lachlan felt more scared, more cold, more capable, and more alive than ever.
Enjoy our latest EF Pro Cycling Explore film, “The Divide,” presented by Wahoo.

I saw this at the Boulder Theater with 1,000+ divide loving bike nerds, it was incredible! Way to go Lachlan, so inspirational! FREE HUGS!
-
This man is the real deal. Pushed beyond his limits and prevailed. Quote I will never forget. “Every time you push past something you thought you couldn’t, that’s the gift.” This film was a gift to all of us. Thank you for sharing your adventure. Bravo Lachlan

And winner of the 2024 Unbound!!

Whoever did the sound design deserves an award

I love how even in the worst of times, Lachy still manages to have a chuckle to himself. I think that says a lot more than most people realize.
-
Very interesting to see how the old man in Pie Town thought that if riders wanted their name in the book, then they wouldn’t stop by his place. Lachlan stopped by, visited with him, and that man didn’t know Lachlan was on record pace.
-
Not only is lachy a fantastic cyclist, and ambassador for the sport he is a genuinely nice guy who always takes time to speak to those who turn out to cheer him on, on his alternative adventures. Quality.

58:49 “anytime you get to push yourself past something you thought you couldn’t, that’s the gift”

F@&king Brilliant! My takeaway? Mechanical shifting rules for unsupported rides! Oh, and Lachlan is a beast mentally!

The Great Divide's been a 23-year, still ongoing, project for me -- my (now) wife and I rode from the Canadian Border to Rawlins back in 2000, when we'd known each other for less than 6 months. That was a life-changing trip. In 2015 I rode from Rawlins down to Silverthorne. In 2017 I rode from Silverthorne down to Antelope Wells. This film brought back so many memories (it's amazing how many places were so easily recognizable -- those little rollers into Pie Town! That endless treeless road into Atlantic City! and on and on!), and brought up so many emotions, and inspired the heck outta me to get back on the trail and finish the Canadian section (which didn't even exist when I first rode a section) as soon as I can. Thank you so much for a beautiful effort, and a beautiful film.

34:10 That has to be the most considerate truck driver ever..! Onya mate
-
Lachy is the most hard-core alternative rider out there.Mad respect.

The videographer counted the timing so well in so many shots is really crazy, this made this film look like a movie, and they don't get to retake it! Lachlan has proven the importance of sleep in ultra racing, it affects the mental capability to handle stress, imagine if he's suffering from sleep fatigue while handling those crises (lightning on the mountain, coldness, and mechanical issues). All in all, I can't neglect the point that made this film great is the fact that the director and editor himself is the brother of Lachlan and a cyclist too! He understands the stake and the rider very well, which aids the storytelling. Thank you to all who were involved.
-
I love how people walk right by him out front of the convenience stores without knowing he's crushing one of the toughest cycling challenges out there. Slamming chocolate milk and peddling on. 💪🏻
-
Thanks EF & film crew for supporting an icon in the cycling community. Keep riding, keep going, keep posting. 🌞🙏
-
Just want to to thank you for this hour of peace, cycling and land. Great team!
-
I met Lachlan briefly during his”unsupported” TDF ride. A man of few words. A genuinely likeable guy and a great endurance cyclist with a big heart. But this film made me realise he has a lot to learn about survival.
-
If I ever needed another reason to never go wireless, thanks! I’m gladly sticking to mech thank you very much. Very well put together film. Thank you.
-
One of my favourite parts was when he gave the guy out front the gas station the hug.

As a long distance cycling traveller, loneliness is one most formidable thing against pedaling. Laclan is definitely lucky to have the filmmaker all the way to the goal line. Love watching the video!!!!
